Great Affordable Family Crossover

This model does not have a lot of bells and whistles; no Bluetooth, no volume control on the steering wheel, not a lot of places in the console to store things other than the armrest ... it is a simple interior. The driving experience again is "Good"; you do not feel a lot of power, but it does it's job. That being said - it's a beautiful car and has tons of cargo space, making it an affordable family vehicle.

worst car i have ever owned!!!!

I have had this vehicle for 2 years and it has been the worst 2 years of my life. The acceleration in the vehicle will malfunction on rainy/wet days it will just not move all of a sudden it has happened on interstates, cross road and several dangerous areas. Not to mention this brand doesn't hold its value at all! In two years my value went from 18k to 9k and its mint condition minus the issues it has with the acceleration. When you are on the gas pedal it whines and makes a whistling noise. Im so fed up with this car and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Not to mention I've had it to countless dealers and no one is able to fix the issue so i now have a ticking time bomb. Nissan wont even make good on this situation and therefore i will never purchase from Nissan again ever!

Smooth ride

Although it may seem like a bigger/bulkier car on the exterior, driving it I feel like I can turn on a dime, and have complete control of the vehicle. It accelerates quickly and the break response is incredible. The sound system is great and the AC works like a charm. I love how high up I feel when driving this car.

Not happy with my Rogue

I can't believe so many people are giving good reviews. I've had it for 5 months. Maybe I got spoiled with my old Honda CRV. The only thing I like about this car is the lumbar support and comfortable fairly smooth ride. But you have to consider, my last car was a 99 CRV so it was a rough ride but never ever gave me trouble. Spoiled me I guess. It was mandatory to rate reliability but 5 mos is not enough to judge that so I put avg. It's pretty good on gas. So here's what I don't like...Poor view for looking out back window, poor view when turning left because the window brace is right in the way! The transmission sucks. Hasn't stalled on me but it goes into really high RPM's on any acceleration and sounds like it's straining really bad. The turning ratio is horrible compared to my Honda, the heater takes too long to heat, there's no place to put my purse if someone is in the passenger seat, There's no place to put a trash bag, no place to put loose change, a pen, CD's when changing from one to the other. All around bad front interior. The glove box is big but you have to be in the passenger seat to use it and there's a middle compartment but it's too deep and in a bad place. Maybe I'm just spoiled with my Honda. Maybe that's just what you get with a smaller car. The dash and everything is nice looking but not useful. Even though it's got a place for my sunglasses whoopie. Unhappy with this car and especially because I want to retire and was hoping it would be my last car purchase. It's not safe for this little old lady.

Happy new owner

Very nice vehicle. Lots of pep and quite a comfy! We love the look and ride of the Nissan Rogue. The back of camera and the blue tooth are just added features to make it even a nicer ride!

Reesie's Rogue

Love my SUV's and this one is the perfect size for me. Not too big or not too small. I would definitely recommend at least a test drive and you'll want to purchase one also.

Fun to drive; very responsive.

Particularly like the smooth-shift, transmission. I would recommend this car to potential buyers searching for a mid-size crossover. .
